"Golfers traveling to the Punta Cana area on the east coast of the Dominican Republic have two new options, the White Sands Golf Course and the Punta Blanca Golf Course.
The par 72 9-hole White Sands Golf Course is located near the Ocean Blue property in the Bavaro Beach area. The additional nine holes are scheduled for completion this summer. The White Sands Golf Course was designed by six-time Spanish champion Pepe Gancedo, who is also responsible for the Barcelo Bavaro golf course.
The Nick Price-designed 18-hole par 72 Punta Blanca Golf Club course is located at Arena Gorda Beach near the Barcelo Punta Cana Resort (formerly Breezes Punta Cana). Barcelo Punta Cana Resort provides its guests with complimentary transportation to and from the golf course. Special golf packages are also available."
